However, the problem is always going to be that each county and sometimes
cities use their own spatial accuracy standards, so compiling these data is
going to produce a tremendous amount of slivers and overlaps. I know
there have been some regional clearinghouse attempts with varying success, but
they may be able to provide more current data than FGDL.</span></font><font

12.0pt;font-family:Tahoma;color:blue'>Precisely. That is what I was
trying to point out in my question about a week and a half ago. There are
several city limits layers out there, none of which seem to be accurate.
I have been using the FGDL layer based on parcel data, but it has some holes in
it. The TIGER data and FDEP layers are old and don’t represent
recent incorporations and annexations that have occurred in the last few
years. Another problem is that all the city limits layers that are out
there do not agree with the county boundary layers, creating problems with
spatial joins. So if anyone knows of city limit data that is up-to-date
and consistent with county boundary data, let us know.<O:P></O:P></span></font><o:p></o:p></p>
